Island Badges

Rickety Rods

Go fishing at the Rickety Piers

Use Quentin's Treasure Rod for the fish seen in the screenshot.

---

Flow of Calamity

Kill 5 guards at once with environment kills

The easy/cheesy way to do this is simply knock out 5 guards and place them in the line of fire.

The more "intended" way:

There are 3 cannons on the map with 3 guards standing permanently in front of them and 3 walking by. Place one teammate at each of them, prepare the interaction with shadow mode and execute at the right moment when you have 5 or more guards in the line of fire.

---

Like Rats To Cheese

Kill 3 guards who are following your footsteps with environment kills

The easiest way to do this is to go to a cannon with a guard standing in front of it, hover over it to see the line of fire, walking this exact line and distract the guard to look at the footsteps. As soon as he starts walking, fire the cannon. Safe just before distracting him and reload twice. The counting for this badge continues over multiple missions so you don't have to do it all at once.

---

Roasted

Throw both Kindred on the Ship into the fire

The Ship in question here is the Brine Razor, located in the east of the map. In the middle of the ship burns an Inquisition fire (indicated by the points connected with lines rising from it).

---

So This Is How You Get Here

Reach the top of the Light House

You will get this badge automatically at the end of the mission Lighthouse Locutions. I recommend doing this with Teresa to progress her badge The Crow Flies (Visit all highest points of all Islands).

---

Lighthouse Locutions

I Knew He Was Annoying

Kill the Prognosticar before entering the lighthouse

This badge is about the Prognosticar who is the second mission objective, not the one in front of the light house.

---

Deadly View

Kill a guard with a crewmate who is positioned on the lighthouse

I'm actually not sure if this would work with anyone other than Teresa.

---

Small Crew, Big Plans

No Need For Bloodshed

Don't attack or kill anyone

This one is... weird. There is a Prognosticar right in front of the ship, which, at least for me, has only moved by himself after I killed most guards around him.

One way to get around this problem would be if you sacrifice one of your team members who get's stunned by the Prognosticar, which makes you able to steal the ship from right under his nose. Aside from that, you can try to use John, raising alarm by getting spotted and hiding in the Belowm hoping that the Prognosticar is going to look for around for him, leaving his position.

---

No Iudex Were Harmed During This Mission

Don't attack any Iudex

There are 2 Iudexes looking directly at the mission objective. Take 2 crewmates with you, so you can distract both of them

---

Gaëlle's Letter (Ch. 1)

Cannoness Ready!

Shoot a cannon and kill at least 2 guards

Near your objective is cannon with 2 guards permanently standing in front of it. If you wait a little for the third guard walking by, you can also unlock the Piercing Shot badge.


Suleidy is a good pick for most missions, so if you decide to take her with you, this will become a walk in the park.

---

Let's Not All Go There

Only one crewmate is allowed to enter the deck of the Brine Razor

Careful, basically every piece of wood that is/was part of the Brine Razor here counts. I recommend Suleidy, John or Pinkus for this. If you want to go safe, also take Teresa in your team for her Ashen/Iron Judgement skill as support.

---

Toya's Perfection (Ch. 2)

Blades Won't Do

Always kill Sam Bellamy with a firearm

Firearm means only pistols. I haven't tried Teresa's Iron Judgement, but when you kill all guards around your objective, you can easily just use pistols.

---

Clear Target

Don't kill anyone except Sam Bellamy

It seems like you can knock guards out (which makes sense since the only requirement here is "don't kill".

But without even knocking guards out, it's quite a hard badge to get. If you want to do it like this, Suleidy is basically mandatory because you need her Cover Seeds, and Wander Dust is also going to be very helpful.

If you got this badge with knocking guards out, please let me know in the comments!
thx JamzD_P :)

---

Water-Shy

Don't touch any water

This is a little tricky for the first half of the mission, since your first objective is near the half shipwreck with water everywhere around it. But if you manage to do it, the rest of the mission is a walk in the park, regarding this badge.

If you want to be absolutely safe, take Gaëlle with you, shoot Toya over the water parts
and afterwards pull him back into her Kanol.

---

Quentin's Hunt (Ch. 1)

What Else Is He Going To Do

Quentin is not allowed to use any skill other than his Treasure Rod

As soon as you know the route, i.e. where your objectives are going to be, you see that you will not meet many guards. They can easily be taken out or just distracted with your 2 other team members.

If you choose to only distract them, you can get all badges in a single playthrough.

---

No Need For Bloodshed

Don't attack or kill anyone

The only tricky part here is the first objective, because there are 3 guards right next to the chest. I recommend using Gaëlle and Suleidy. Instead of walking, shoot Suleidy at a good spot, use Cover Seeds, then shoot Quentin into the bush and use Treasure Rod to get Gaëlle.

If you do this consistenly, you can get all badges in one playthrough.

Update: Not sure if bug or feature, but seems like you can knock guards out and still get the badge.

---

Firekeeper

Don't extinguish any lights

Remember that this also counts for guards carrying lamps. If you still kill one, don't walk over/near them because you might extinguish the light then.

The good thing is, there aren't actually many lights that would need to be extinguished, except 2 guards carrying lamps, but there are also quite easy ways to just avoid them.

---

Grounded

No crewmate may move higher then the lowest level

Gladly, less than half of the map is neccessary for this mission.

• Green: Easy (example) Path to play
  
• Red: Forbidden, don't go here
  
• Blue: Mission objectives

At the end of the mission, you have use the tear Rickety Piers, it's the only one on ground level (I will update the picture soon).

[Judaspriester]

@Syrzan thx for the hint, you saved me some hours of madness. It feels kinda cheesy but after looking around for alternatives and watching a guy dying through this with access to virgillio (which I don't have yet), I decided to go for the cheese.

[JBlaze]

For "Grounded", this badge would always fail if I used Quentin's treasure rod to pull Gaelle while another crew mate is loaded in her kanol (coz it's a time save) even if they're on the same ground level.

[Nova Solarius]

As an alternative, if you have the DLC, Zagan's Catatonic Grip also doesn't count as an attack. It's also fantastic for dealing with Kindred, whose resurrect triggers when one is killed or knocked out, but not when they're hit with Grip.

[Syrzan]

A bit late to the party, but for Toyas Perfection, Small Crew and Quentins Hunt, where you should not kill or attack Pinkus is key.

His possession skill does neither count as attack nor as kill, even though you can then unposses the enemies in a bush and get rid of them.

In addition if you take a guard close to the little ship objective in "small crew" you can take the ship from under the prognosticars nose without him doing anything.

[judas]

I can't complete the task Rickety Rods, where to look for this damn fish?

[LuckyDog]

No Need For Bloodshed

Capturing enemies with Teresa's canole apparently isn't counted as an attack. I hope that makes this badge a whole lot easier for everyone.

[Gbuffy]

Is there any trick for A Whiff Of Urgency badge(Collect the soul trace by the boat) ? I cant see anything about it and still missing it...

[TornadoHyenyaku]

For "Roasted", I knocked them out unconscious, and then zoom out the map until every 3D elements can be seen from above (but not turned into the abstract 2D map). I tossed them in (not needing to be at the same time), making sure that they land on the center of the fire hole. Badge unlocked.

[Space is the Place]

@tofunaga1216 "Roasted" it´s extremelly buggie, but achivale, problem is all this guides on steam and online are only partially completed it seems. And the game doesn´t help either. After trying for 15 minutes (not kidding) I only finally got it when I throwed them ALIVE and tied up, you have to make sure the sound area of where they will fall is fully covered by the fire (which is not easy to do with the camera, I advice getting the camera to the point where it´s practically a cenital view right before opening the map). And personally, just to make sure, instead of trhowing them separated, I throwed them at the same time using shadow mode and two characters. Only there, and after like 20 tries, finally did I got the badge.

[[BR1] 》Billynair]

As someone mentioned for "Let's Not All Go There", Pinkus cant board the ship as someone else. Same with Virgilio (as someone else), but you can use Virgilio if you dont change his character while on the ship (I used him as John, then had Gaelle throw firecrackers to distract the 2 near the cannon, then to extract him after with her rope)
